My potato of a computer plays this game no problem
Y'all are trippin

I'm playing this game on a i7-6700K (well below minimum system requirements) with a RTX-3070 (two generations back). I'm playing ultra nightmare settings, DLSS Quality, 1200p, solid 60FPS, and my hardware isn't even breaking a sweat.

there is nothing wrong with the optimization

It's optimized way better than any Unreal Engine game with RT.
A masterclass of gaming and design, essential fps, the greatest fps of 2025!
I´m playing and beated the game with an RTX 2070 Super and an i7-8700k, no overclock, and the game works fine. No crashes or fps drops that i noticed.
I too run a 6700K, but with a 2080 Super (and a 5070ti on the way)... was wondering if I could run this game. Premium Edition was bundled with the 5070ti.

all potatos will bee deep fried when path RT is fully implemented. dlss is then taking even more details away from visual fidelitiy
Unreal is a much more versatile engine, IDTech8 isn't by their own admission its far more specialised, but in its specialised area its better than Unreal in terms of performance. Although part of that is the hybrid lighting system it uses.
im using a 7800 xt radeon gpu and a 7800 cpu and cant even get past 2 seconds of my launch then it just freezes

This game has better performance than MH:Wilds on the minimum settings.

Game looks better and runs better. I’m just stating facts.

yo my mobo is literally 9 years old. gpu is much newer but still no spring chicken, and it's running 1200p/60 at like 50% load

Yep the people saying the game is crazy demanding are over-exaggerating for sure it's not great but it runs better than basically every EU5 game these last few years.

Like if my AMD-6000s card which sucks at RT the RX6800 which is in the lower end of mid range GPU can play at 3440x1440p with almost max settings but reflections and Shadows at high with Balanced Xess which looks better and runs better than FSR at Quality can play the game at 65-75fps never dropping below 60fps then most people should be fine being able to play at 1080p 60fps.

Do I wish it was better yes I do but it is ok not terrible but ok.
